Yeah, like even an expedition set prior to the game's where you and Roth explore a tomb or something. Or maybe one where you play as her father.

Seems like a bit of a missed opportunity but then again maybe the proper teams are working on their next project - we are in that awkward in-between phase of this generation and next generation after all.

I would have thought the idea of the tombs (especially with a downloadable tomb already) was primed for single player DLC. I have zero interest in multiplayer but thoroughly enjoyed the game and would happily buy up any single player DLC - oh well

I'm okay with this. This generation is just about done. I'd much rather the team be working on the next instalment of the game for next-generation consoles than spending time on DLC that cheapens the experience.

Fuck! Loved this game. Didn't like none of the classic tomb raiders on PS1/PS2, the demos of the 360 TR games have before, nor the demos of Uncharted 1 & 2 on PS3. With all due respect to Uncharted, I'm not one for lots of shootouts with wave after wave of enemies. Sometimes you can't even clear-out an area because the re-spawn, and you just have to push forward. I'm also not a fan of quick time events...

But for whatever reason TR seemed to balance-out the qte's and the shootouts so that I was able to keep progressing rather than put the game down forever. A damn shame there'll be no single player DLC. As someone who takes a hardline against most DLC, such as on disc/day one DLC; I had already decided to get any single player DLC if any was made as soon as it was released.

Now that I've finished the game in about 3 nights on a rental... I guess I'll get it for cheap during a Steam Sale and await news on the sequel in a couple of years time. *sad face*

Ah, not a big deal, given how much content there is in the campaign. But definitely more tombs would have been welcomed, and easy for the team to work on without having to worry how they'd fit into the story or world.

Tomb Raider isn't exactly the type of game that has a lot of replay value. Once you are done 100%, you have seen everything the game has to offer. You won't discover new things on repeated playthroughs.

And the way the game is set up, relying heavily on set pieces that only wow you the first time you see them, I just don't see me replaying that game. I loved loved the experience on my first time through the game but I don't really have an itch to go back.

Yeah but Tomb Raider is not like a good movie. It is a dumb and shallow action flick like Transformers or GI Joe. You watch these once, you have a good time and forget about them a couple months down the line.
